Ezra 9
1 Some time later, the Jewish leaders came to me and said, “Many Israelis, and even some priests and [other men who are] descendants of Levi [who work in the temple], have not kept themselves from [doing what] the other people who are living in this land [do]. They are practicing the detestable things that the Canaan, Heth, Periz, Jebus, Ammon, and Amor people-groups, and the people from Moab and Egypt do.
Hanki anama hutonke'za henka mago'a kva vahe'mo'za nagrite e'za amanage hu'naze, Israeli vahe'mo'zane pristi vahe'mo'zane Livae naga'mo'zanena, ko'ma ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'zama hu'naza kasrino haviza hu'nea havi zamavu zamavara zamavariri'za nehaze. Ana havi zamavu zamava'ma nehaza vahera Kenani vahe'ma, Hiti vahe'ma, Perizi vahe'ma, Jebusi vahe'ma, Amoni vahe'ma, Moapu vahe'ma, Isipi vahe'ma, Amori vaheki hu'za mani'naze.
2 [Specifically, some] Israeli men have married women who are not Israelis, and they have allowed their sons to do the same thing. So we, God’s sacred people, have become (contaminated/polluted in God’s sight). And some of our leaders and officials have been the first/worst ones to do this.”
Na'ankure mago'a Israeli vahe'mo'za ana megi'a vahepintira a'nanea enerige'za, mofavre zamimo'za anazanke hu'za ara eri'naze. Ana nehu'za Ra Anumzamo'ma nagri vahe fatgo mani'nazema hu'neankea eri havia hu'naze. Ana kumira ugota kva vahe'mo'zane, eri'za vahe'mo'za ugota hu'za nehazage'za, vea kevumo'za zamage ante'za ana kumira hu'naze.
3 When I heard that, [I became very angry, with the result that] I tore my clothes and tore some hair from my head and from my beard. Then I sat down, very shocked/dismayed. [The Israelis knew that God had warned us that he would punish us if we disobeyed] what he had said to us [about marrying women who are not Israelis].
Hanki nagra Ezra'na anankema nentahi'na kukenanine, amega nakre ku'ninena tagato nehu'na, naseni nazoka'ene nagi nazoka'enena vararete'na, antahintahinimo'a haviza hige'na, akohe'na mani'noe.
4 [So] many of the Israelis trembled/were afraid when they heard that some of those who had returned from Babylonia had sinned by disobeying the God of us Israelis like that. They came and sat with me until it was time to offer the evening sacrifices [of grain].
Anante mago'a vahe'ma, Israeli vahe Ra Anumzamofo nanekegu'ma koroma hunentaza vahe'mo'za eme nagagi'naze. Zamagra Ra Anumzamo'ma kumi'ma nehaza vahe'ma zamazeri havizama nehia zankura koro nehu'za, Babilonima kinafinti'ma e'naza vahe'mo'zama nehaza havi zamavu zamava nege'za, e'za nagrama akohe'nama mani'nore eme atru hu'za mani'nageno kinaga ofama hukna ehanati'ne.
5 When it was time to offer those sacrifices, I was still sitting there, wearing those torn clothes and mourning/sad. I stood up, and then I quickly prostrated myself on the ground. I lifted up my hands to Yahweh, my God,
Hanki kinaga ofama hu knama ege'na, kukenanine nakre ku'ninema tagato'ma hute'na mani'noretira oti'na nare'na nere'na, Anumzana Ranimofontega nzantre'na erisga nehu'na,
6 and this is what I prayed: “Yahweh my God, I am very ashamed to raise my head in front of you. The sins that we Israelis have committed [are very great; it is as though they] have risen up higher than our heads, and our guilt [for committing those sins, it is as though it] rises up to the heavens.
amanage hu'na nunamuna hu'noe, Ra Anumzanimoka nagrama kagri kavure'ma e'zankura tusi nagaze hie. Na'ankure tagra tusi kumi hunkeno, kumitimo'a tagatereno monafi mareri'ne.
7 Since the time that our ancestors lived until now, we have been very guilty. That is the reason that we and our kings and our priests have been defeated by [the armies of] the kings of other lands. They killed [some of our people], they captured [some], they robbed [some], and they [caused them all to be] disgraced, just like we are today.
Korapa tagehonteti eno meni tagritema egeta tusi'a kumi hu'none. E'ina hu'negu Kagra ha' vahetia zamatranke'za e'za tagri'ene kini vahetine pristi vahetinena ha' eme hurante'za tagatere'naze. Ana nehu'za mago'a vahera eme zamahe nefri'za mago'a vahera eme tavre'za kina ome hurante'naze. Ana nehu'za feno zantia eneri'za tatarazageta tagazegu nehuta mani'none.
8 “But now, Yahweh God, you have been very kind to us. You have allowed some of us to (survive/continue to live). You have revived our spirits [IDM] and allowed us to escape from being slaves [in Babylonia] and to return safely [IDM] to live in this sacred place.
Hianagi Ra Anumzamoka menina ete kasunku hurantenka, osi'a naga tatranketa kinafintira atreta knare kumaka'afi Jerusalemia e'none. Ana nehunka Kagra hankave ka'areti kinafintira taza hanketa, kora kazokazo eri'za vahe mani'nonanagi, menina fru huta knare huta mani'none.
9 We were slaves, but you did not abandon us. Instead, because you faithfully love us, you caused the kings of Persia to be very kind to us. You have allowed us to continue to live and to rebuild your temple which had been completely destroyed. You have allowed us to start to live safely here in Jerusalem and in [other towns in] Judah.
Tagra kazokzo eri'za vahe mani'nonanagi Rana tagri Anumzamoka kamefira huorami'nane. Kagra kavesi nerantenka, kasefa asimu tamiaza hunka, Pesia kini vahera hanke'za tazeri so'e nehu'za, tatarazageta mono noma ko'ma havizama hu'neana ete eme kiteta, Jerusalene Juda mopafina menina so'e hunka kva hurantanketa mani'none.
10 “Our God, what more can we say now [RHQ]? In spite of all that [you have done for us], we have disobeyed your commands.
Hianagi menina tagri Ra Anumzamoka mikazama tro'ma hurantenantera na'ane huta kasamigahune? Kagra ana maka knare zantami tro hurante'nane. Hianagi Kagri kasegea tamefi humita amagera onte'none.
11 They are commands that you gave to your servants, the prophets, to tell to us. They said that the land that we would occupy was polluted because of the detestable/disgusting things that were done by the people who lived there. They said that in the land there were people from one end to the other who did immoral/shameful things.
Hagi eri'za vaheka'a kasnampa vahe'mokizmi zamagipi huvazinka ana nanekea amanage hu'nane, Amama unefreta erisantima hare'naza mopamo'a nagri navurera agru osu'ne. Na'ankure ana mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'za havi zamavu zamava hu'za ana maka mopa eri himna vu'naza mopafi unefraze.
12 They said, ‘Do not allow your daughters to marry their sons! Do not allow your sons to marry their daughters! Do not even try to cause things to go well for those people-groups! If you obey these instructions, your nation will be strong, and you will enjoy the good crops that grow on the land, and the land will belong to your descendants forever.’
E'ina hu'negu mofa'nanetamia zamatrenke'za ana vahetera nomanisageta, ana vahepintira ne' mofavretamirera ara avre ozamiho. Ana vahe'enena mago tamarimpa hutma nomanita, mago'a zama tro'ma hunaku'ma hnageta zamaza osiho.

13 “You punished us because we were very guilty for having done wicked things. But you have not punished us as much as we deserve to be punished. [I say this because] you, our God, have allowed some of us to survive.
Hagi kagri kea amagera onteta tusi'a kumi huta hazenke hunonanagi, Ra Anumzamoka kagra ana kumitimofo nona'a tusi'a knaza tamisinagi, osi knaza neraminka, tatranketa menina ofri osia nagara mani'none.
14 However, some of us are again disobeying your commands, and we are marrying women who do those detestable things. If we continue to do that, surely you will get rid of all of us [RHQ], with the result that none of us will remain alive.
Tagra na'ane huta Ra Anumzamoka kasegea ete rutagreta megi'a vahe'ma haviza huno agoterfa avu'avazama nehaza vahetera mofavre nagatia zamatre'sanunke'za vea erige, ara erige hugahaze? Tagra antahi'none anama hanunkenka'a, Kagra karimpa ahenerantenka ana maka tahe fanane hananketa magore huta omanigahune.
15 Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship/belong to], you are fair/just. We are guilty. We are only a few people who have escaped [from Babylonia], but we pray to you, even though we do not deserve to stand in your presence.”
Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamoka, kagrake fatgo kavukvazana nehane. E'ina hu'negu ko'ma tazeri havizama nehunka menina osi'a nagara tatranketa mani'none. Tagra kumike vahe mani'nonankita, Kagri tava'ontera manigara osu'none.
